Some people feel nothing at all when they smoke marijuana. Others may feel relaxed or high. Sometimes marijuana makes users feel thirsty and very hungry - an effect called “the munchies”.
http://www.mentalhealth.com/book/p45-mari.html#Head_6I know that, i meant prove it's never hurt anyone. It's an impossible task to do. Howevr, looking at some facts about the side affects:

What are some of the immediate effects of smoking marijuana?
Some immediate physical effects of marijuana include a faster heartbeat and pulse rate, bloodshot eyes, and a dry mouth and throat. No scientific evidence indicates that marijuana improves hearing, eyesight, and skin sensitivity. Studies of marijuana's mental effects show that the drug can impair or reduce short-term memory, alter sense of time, and reduce ability to do things which require concentration, swift reactions, and coordination, such as driving a car or operating machinery.
That doesn't sound dangerous to you?
How about this:

A common bad reaction to marijuana is the "acute panic anxiety reaction." People describe this reaction as an extreme fear of "losing control," which causes panic. The symptoms usually disappear in a few hours.
Or perhaps THIS:
Quote:
Long-term regular users of marijuana may become psychologically dependent. They may have a hard time limiting their use, they may need more of the drug to get the same effect, and they may develop problems with their jobs and personal relationships. The drug can become the most important aspect of their lives.
Perhaps this:

One major concern about marijuana is its possible effects on young people as they grow up. Research shows that the earlier people start using drugs, the more likely they are to go on to experiment with other drugs. In addition, when young people start using marijuana regularly, they often lose interest and are not motivated to do their schoolwork. The effects of marijuana can interfere with learning by impairing thinking, reading comprehension, and verbal and mathematical skills. Research shows that students do not remember what they have learned when they are "high".
Perhaps it's banned because it can (and does) ruin peoples lifes?
Does this sound healthy or even safe to you;

Marijuana use increases the heart rate as much as 50 percent, depending on the amount of THC. It can cause chest pain in people who have a poor blood supply to the heart - and it produces these effects more rapidly than tobacco smoke does.
Is it going to be so great when this happens to you:

"Burnout" is a term first used by marijuana smokers themselves to describe the effect of prolonged use. Young people who smoke marijuana heavily over long periods of time can become dull, slow moving, and inattentive. These "burned-out" users are sometimes so unaware of their surroundings that they do not respond when friends speak to them, and they do not realize they have a problem.
And please, do not give me that crap abvout 'OMG I DUN DO IT DAT MUCH' because that's rubbish, it starts off small because it satisfies and does the job, you increase it over time and you get addicted, if you was to weak minded not to do it in the first place - i doubt you'll be able to quit easily either.
I've seen friends, people in school start smoking this crap and by the end of school they'd changed so much i didn't really like them anymore, i've had it offered to me countless times but thankfully i've seen the changes and affect it has on people and don't bother with it.
Legalizing it is a stupid idea.
